DanJan 29, 2006Ryan Key has written some amazing songs. This is for those who love emo, but it works so well, anyone could listen to this and probably like it. A masterpiece, I don't say that lightly, it truly is an awsome cd.

jamiefarrFeb 26, 2006The new album from yellowcard, lights and sounds is their best cd yet. They took a step in a different direction, showing that their not close minded, and that their willing to try different things. I give it a 10!

AnthonyBFeb 5, 2006Much more power than their last album. Incredible sound. Go buy it.

carolineMar 5, 2006although the melody is not sustained on violin, their sound has progressed from pop-punk to more of an edgier, hardcore scene.

KyleighHFeb 11, 2006I've heard Yellowcard's "Lights and Sounds" song and it is cool. I never liked "Ocean Avenue", but "Lights and Sounds" is much more better. I hope this cd comes out soon because I want to listen to it.

BrennaSFeb 19, 2006I love this CD!!! I had my doubts because I had heard rumors that they had really changed since Ocean Avenue. But Lights and Sounds is sooo much better. Ryans voice has matured and the instrumental parts really carry out in this cd.

AlfredoRAug 30, 2006I am a 100% YC fan...so no matter what they do, i am gonna like their music!... just because its a different style of music then the last album doesnt mean they are any less "rockish" or "punkish", its just want they felt at the moment...so if you are a fan critizing them...get over yourself and be supportive of the band.

MusicLoverOct 21, 2007A beautiful album. I love how Yellowcard has a violin. It ends up accounting for some really good songs they make, and this album is no exeption. It's even got a jazz-type song in there about war. Go get it.

alexfJul 25, 2007The BEST Yellowcard album ever!!! I love all the songs. The song I like the most is " Sure Thing Fallen'. I think this album may be better then Ocean Avenue because all the songs on the album have so much feeling in them. Like "Holly Wood Died" and " City Of Devils" they have so much feeling in them. How can you not like this album?
-
-
ZachPAug 29, 2006Yes, Ocean Avenue was a 10, but overall, Lights and Sounds hold up. Holly Wood Died is one of the easiest songs to listen to, and who couldn't deny the amazing vocals on "How I Go"?

RollzJan 28, 2006Some very catchy songs. I love Grey and Two Weeks From Twenty. There are a few disappointments, including Lights And Sounds - lacking in any sort of character and serving only as a radio-pleaser - and Waiting Game - the emotional and dramatic opening gives way to over-relaxed nothingness... besides a few gripes, there are many wicked songs that surpass their old album tracks by miles.

ChadOFeb 14, 2006Decent and has grown in the industry and they are getter deeper in their lyrics. However just a bit mor publicity on this album as it would have helped them out. But I would tell everyone to buy this album it's awesome.

BrianLFeb 26, 2006An improvement over Ocean Avenue in my opinion. A diverse album, it has acoustic moments in addition to the pop punk you expect from Yellowcard. If you're going to listen to some pop punk, I would pick this album over the whiny crap excreted by GC and SP anyday.

JamesMApr 27, 2006Really liked this album... Tracks which stood out for me were lights and sounds, sure thing falling, martin sheen or jfk, space travel and hollywood died.. A few tracks sucked but overall, the good tracks covered up and i LOVE THIS ALBUM

MattFeb 7, 2006Not up to Green Day level, but this is definitely a cut above Good Charlotte and Simple Plan.

-
KatylolApr 18, 2006Pretty mediocre album. Has its strong tracks (Sure Thing Falling, Lights and Sounds), but not as good as their Ocean Avenue album by far.

Awards & Rankings

Lights and Sounds' good songs are very good, and the album ends up being the band's most accomplished work yet.
-
Alternative PressIt may be one of the least "punk" albums a pop-punk band will make this year--but it's probably one of the best, too. [Feb 2006, p.113]
-
BillboardA strong effort that trades sunny-sounding rockers and breakup songs for weightier concerns of war and family, "Lights" conveys that maturity without seeming strained. [28 Jan 2006]
